Thanks for your great web-site.
My golf clubs could be lost en route by American Airlines. Are there any for rent at the club on St Marteen?
The answer is yes, the golf course in Dutch St. Maarten has rental clubs; not great clubs, but clubs.

Recent Trip Report.
Pam and Bill Livingston
([email protected]) write:
We just returned late November from our third visit to Anguilla and are already planning our next visit. Funny how our stays keep getting longer and longer in length!
Again we stayed at Frangipani
and enjoyed the beautiful quiet setting and Mr. Valentin's excellent staff. We would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a special intimate place right on the beach with great food and service.
We also returned to many of our favorite restaurants... Tratorria Tromonto,
the Pump House
and Roy's. This year we were given several terrific choices by some of the local people whom did not steer us wrong.
Tasty's - A great spot with generous portion, low prices and the pumpkin soup was delicious. A very filling meal which we needed after going to rum tasting at the Pyrat factory!. A fun place to buy special gifts for friends at home.
Mango's - It was very full the night we went, a very varied menu selection, good food and the Chef was from my home town in Massachusetts.
But the highlight of our trip, besides the gorgeous beaches and wonderful people was our dinner at
Altamer.
The whole experience was magnificent. From the lighted glass tables to the crystal and sterling silver... it couldn't have been a more beautiful setting for the unique dining experience and the masterpieces of Chef Leduc.
I highly recommend his tomato tart and his chocolate bread pudding. Chef Leduc personally welcomed us and told us not to tell him if we didn't like our meal or he might cry! This will definitely be one of the premier spots for dining on the Island.
Thank you to you and all your well versed staff for the wonder stories, photos etc. It keeps us connected until we can return again to the most beautiful Island in the Caribbean.
Kind Regards
Pam and Bill Livingston
